===================================================
http://www.mrdowling.com/704-art.html
I find this site about Renaissance art. I read the paragraph that talk about the Renaissance art and how it comes. In this time, the art is more liflike than before in the Midle Ages. The artists learned the perspective, it makes the difference of looking in different views and distances. Giotto was the first one to painted like that. Even he lived more than a century before the beginning of the Renaissance, he paintings show real life.

=====================================================


The last supper
by Leonardo da Vinci
1495-1497


This painting, he gets out of old ways that because the Jesus is noble, he painted him with his other twelve adherents. In the nervous atmosphere, Jesus opens his hands and mkes the painting in triangle. He gave every character a different expressions and plentiful moods.

=====================================================


Mona Lisa
by Leonardo da Vinci
1503-1505


In this painting, it is the first time he use his new way to paint. It called"sfumato" to make the feeling of the space. It just like mixing me the nature.
And also, the month of the woman in the painting is special. Her eyes will always looking at you. Even you walk around. Although the technique is easy, but the person and the background looked very harmonious, let it became a very famous painting in the world.

Sigh* why is everyone doing this homework wrongly...The website and artwork needed to be images of devotion, which means Christian symbolism in Renaissance art.
